🏉 Heart-stopping moment at the Dragons vs. Stormers rugby match!
In a tense United Rugby Championship clash in Cape Town, Dragons flanker Harry Beddall suffered a frightening knockout. Just 20 minutes in, Beddall got caught on the wrong side of a tackle, meeting Stormers’ Evan Roos’ knee head-on. The collision left him dazed on the pitch, halting the game instantly as medics rushed to help. 🤕
The stadium held its breath as medics supported Beddall’s neck and began treatment. To everyone’s relief, he signalled a thumbs-up before being taken off the field on a medical cart to applause from the crowd. Thomas Young stepped in to continue the match for the Dragons.
At that moment, the Dragons were 14-0 down after Stormers’ Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored twice, showcasing his incredible skill. But the Dragons didn’t back down! 💪 Filo Tiatia’s squad sprang into action with Seb Davies slicing through the Stormers’ defence to put points on the board.
The second half saw Feinberg-Mngomezulu extend the Stormers’ lead, followed by Evan Roos scoring after a powerhouse scrum. But Dragons kept roaring, with Young narrowing the gap with a determined try. 🌟 Stormers’ Wandi Simelane crafted a solo masterpiece, chasing his own kick to make it 29-14.
Dragons’ Rio Dyer found a late burst of energy, diving under the posts for a try, but the clock ran out, and the Stormers bagged a bonus-point victory, keeping their championship dream alive.
